New Daily Practice

I'm already doing a photo a day, but I don't feel like I benefit from it.

I decided to write some sort of poem a day-it can increase my expressing in few words or more and make my writing better, I guess.

It seems fun to me.. It's not photography, but I like it just as much.

I'm not going to say that I don't like the things I write, but this is only the beginning of something bigger and better.

Thanksgiving Week

Happy Thanksgiving all of you.

This time of the year I start to think about my family- who they are to me and why I love them. I don't have the worst family in the world, and I know they're not the best, but they are mine and I wouldn't trade them for the world. For them, I am thankful.

Obviously my parents, brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles are family, but I also consider STAC a family. We all throw around the concept that we're a big family, but I actually mean it. The people that sit in that room are the only people that actually see my flaws because I let them, they know who I am without me trying to show it. I'm thankful for that.

I thought about it, and Thanksgiving is the holiday which we celebrate because we took away the land from someone else and claimed our own. I don't know how to think of the holiday since I realized that large factor. Now it just seems like a family dinner with overeating. And yes, I'm thankful for that too.

Halloween Weekend!

BOO!

did I scare you?

Well, this Halloween I went to the parade down in NYC. IT was so fun! I dressed up as this distressed zombie, and I would just jump at people and scare them. It was so much fun.
I made it into the parade, so I was being creepy and walking up to people on the barricade and getting in their face. I screamed at people and they screamed in fear back. I don't think I would have been able to do this without the liminal acting skills I've been able to develop. I was in character 90% of the time. The other 10% was spent jumping around with people dressed up as Toucan Sam, Ke$ha, and other zombies.


Back to STAC..
The movie was a fail on Friday, so we're kickin' it up with a party on Monday! The movie was really good, to start with. I constantly find myself thinking in shots, which is cool, but a bit annoying. This movie had a bunch of creative shots, which had my mind going crazy to film a movie.
& book making! Another year with Karl! You'd expect to be better the second time around, which I guess I am, since I knew what we were doing, but not all the time.

Be seeing you,
